# Swap the singer: one pair, two mashups

MashupMaker keeps the vocal from the song you mark as the singer and the backing from the other, so two lead vocals never clash. One switch swaps which song sings.

Why try both ways:

- The vocal is time-stretched and pitch-shifted to the backing song's tempo and key. A vocal that moves less sounds more natural.
- The drum tracks set the start point, so the groove changes with the backing.
- One direction often works better for a short video than the other.

Before you start, check the pair. A tempo gap over 12% or a key gap over 5 semitones rules a pair out, and nothing is charged. The free Key and BPM Finder shows both numbers first.

In the mix editor each part runs from -24 to +12 dB, and re-exports are free.

## Summary
MashupMaker allows users to combine two songs by isolating a vocal track from one and a backing track from the other. The tool automatically adjusts the pitch and tempo of the vocal to match the backing track, and users can swap the roles of the songs to find the best result.

## Themes
- Mashup creation process
- Audio editing constraints
- MashupMaker tool features

## Key takeaways
- MashupMaker swaps vocals between two songs while automatically adjusting pitch and tempo to match the backing track.
- Pairs with a tempo difference greater than 12 percent or a key difference exceeding 5 semitones are ineligible for processing.
- Users can adjust volume levels for each part in the mix editor from -24 to +12 dB.
- Re-exports of mashups are provided at no additional cost.
- The Key and BPM Finder tool allows users to verify song compatibility before initiating a mashup.

## Insights
- The quality of a mashup is highly dependent on the degree of time-stretching and pitch-shifting required for the vocal track.
- The choice of backing track dictates the rhythmic groove of the final mashup because the drum track defines the start point.
- The platform provides a financial safeguard by not charging for pairs that exceed specific technical compatibility thresholds.

## Open questions / gaps
- What specific algorithms or methods are used for the time-stretching and pitch-shifting processes?
- Are there limitations on the file formats or lengths of the songs that can be uploaded for processing?
